Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

[staz]

Is there some sort of tightly orchestrated entertainment planned for the void we must now endure?

 

[snowmanny]

taking the ball? Feel like optimal strategy is going second so you know what you need, and can go for 2 and the win.

Yes, that's very weird.

 

[scott bankheadcase]

Why take the ball????? I hate that

I think the D is too tired honestly. Gives them rest.

 

[Preacher]

Receiving first is a mistake.

Yeah, with the new rules, wouldn’t you want to know how much you need to score to match (or if you even need to score)?

 

[SirPsychoSquints]

you still get it third, which is better than fourth.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Fifth quarter prop bets are the new black

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Everyone gets the ball is a fun new quirk.

It ranks right up there with FBS figuring out that they could make even more money with a larger playoff as quirks.

 

[Marciano490]

Under these rules, doesn't it make more sense to kick?

Maybe it’s better to rest your D more.

 

[slamminsammya]

If they score a TD they win, I don’t hate it

i thought they just said each team gets a possession

 

[Investor 11]

Got a chance for a 32-26 scorigami.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Is it clear you want ball first given each team gets a possession!

I think you want it second now.

 

[Caspir]

So KC pick 6 or shitty drive, punt, KC TD?

I’d kick if I had the choice. You get the ball either way, and would know what you need.

 

[Cellar-Door]

If they score a TD they win, I don’t hate it

new rules, you don't, so you open it up for the other team to score a TD and 2pt and win.

Only case for it is maybe your D is tired?

 

[Ale Xander]

Wait did they change the rules after the Pats Falcons SB?

 

[BaseballJones]

taking the ball? Feel like optimal strategy is going second so you know what you need, and can go for 2 and the win.

I want the ball first because if the score is tied after each team possesses, you get first crack at the win.

 

[Dollar]

Whoa how did I not know there are new rules? Are you all saying that if SF scores a TD, the game isn't over? wtf

 

[Ed Hillel]

They took the ball????

 

[Reardon's Beard]

The D needs a rest. I get it.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

If you think both defenses hold, then first is best, but I think I still kick first.

 

[johnmd20]

Is it clear you want ball first given each team gets a possession!

It is not, only because the 2nd team to have the ball knows if they need to go for it on 4th down. They get the luxury of the extra down.

 

[Marciano490]

Maybe it’s better to rest your D more.

Whoa… I’m Tony Romo…?

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Why not defer?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Hasn't Jennifer Coolidge's second 15-minutes expired yet?

 

[JerBear]

I think taking the ball makes sense. If you score, they have to match. If they match, you get it next. Plus their D is probably tired.

 

[Ed Hillel]

If they score a TD they win, I don’t hate it

Nooooo

 

[gammoseditor]

I agree with Romo. Give your defense a rest.

 

[Ale Xander]

new rules, you don't, so you open it up for the other team to score a TD and 2pt and win.

Thanks

Pats win so they change rules typical

 

[Arroyoyo]

I’m probably in the minority but I hate that both teams are guaranteed an offensive possession. It’s a team sport. Three phases. All this does is put more emphasis on offense than the other phases, and the league has done enough of that the last 20 years.

 

[ngruz25]

Defense looked awful that last KC drive. Don’t hate giving them a breather.

 

[NextBigThing8184]

So KC pick 6 or shitty drive, punt, KC TD?

I’d kick if I had the choice. You get the ball either way, and would know what you need.

shitty drive, punt, KC walk off FG sounds about right

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Nantzgasm ruined.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I want the ball first because if the score is tied after each team possesses, you get first crack at the win.

If you go second you can win on the first possession... TD if they get a FG, 2pt if they kick it, kicking it if they go for 2 and miss

 

[Catcher Block]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Harry Hooper]

MCCaffery not on the field on 1st?

 

[BornToRun]

Thanks

Pats win so they change rules typical

As is tradition.

 

[Dollar]

Give the f'ing ball to CMC.

 

[soxin6]

0.00000001 % chance the Niners win

 

[Ale Xander]

Pick?

nope

 

[shawnrbu]

Wait did they change the rules after the Pats Falcons SB?

After KC/Buffalo

 

[Ed Hillel]

What the fuck is Shanahan doing

 

[ngruz25]

Yeesh this is now dire looking.

 

[CSteinhardt]

Under these rules, isn't the best strategy to try an onside kick? If you get it, the other team had their opportunity to possess the ball, and otherwise you have to defend a short field but still get a chance to respond on the second possession.

 

[BaseballJones]

Give the f'ing ball to CMC.

Any way you can. Run. Screen, Slant. Whatever.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

So if Niners kick then Chiefs can win with TD?

 

[Preacher]

Another false start.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Shannahan is a loser

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Don’t you effectively give the Chiefs four downs even if you score? Seems far better to give up ball to start

 

[Catcher Block]

So if Niners kick then Chiefs can win with TD?

Or a FG

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Not going to be much of a rest for the defense.

Shanahan has coached uninspired starting at the play before the two minute warning and it will probably cost him the whole thing (again).

 

[Marciano490]

Now they call a penalty? Lol.

 

[tims4wins]

Under these rules, isn't the best strategy to try an onside kick? If you get it, the other team had their opportunity to possess the ball, and otherwise you have to defend a short field but still get a chance to respond on the second possession.

No, FG and you lose

If onside kicks weren't nearly impossible now due to other rules changes, sure. As is, nah.
